Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I want to control the computer from the VFX. I want to record the 
MIDI data in Cakewalk or FL Studio. I have MIDI In/Out activity 
lights on my sound card and when the VFX is on, it is very unusual - 
when I push a key on the VFX, it will blink once, then blink a 
several times for about a minute. I would assume it is only supposed 
to blink once for every key press and then stop. Either way, there is 
no sound being generated in either program on the computer.

I mentioned the Yamaha because I can hook that up the same way and it 
works without any setup. Maybe because the Yamaha is General MIDI and 
the VFX isn't?

Thanks!
Scott
